A Classic TV Boutique

The goal of my shop is simple—to provide folks with comfort food in the form of classic television. The idea of this shop came out of my own personal experiences with buying many TV series on DVD, only to have the big companies stop releasing the remaining seasons because they wouldn’t make enough money doing so. That’s not fair to us, the public, who invested our cash only to end up owning partial TV series.

I’m changing that up by providing

  • out-of-print

  • hard-to-find

  • never (fully) released TV series.

However, instead of using DVDs, which are impractical and obsolete, I use a more future-proof, flexible medium—USB flash drives.

These USB drives plug directly into your TV’s USB input slot, or the USB input slot of any DVD player, Blu-ray player, or gaming console.

Additionally, the USB drives can plug into your computer so that the TV episodes can be transferred onto your tablet or smartphone for on-the-go viewing.

All episodes are organized on the drive in folders separated by season and every episode is labeled for ease of reference.

You’ll never again have to worry again about losing, scratching, or coming across a defective disc that you can’t get replaced.

FAQs

Why don’t you sell DVDs in your shop?

DVDs are very unreliable. I used to own a ton of classic series box sets on DVD but over time they just became such a hassle to lug around after each consecutive time I moved. Plus, discs become lost, scratched, and/or hard to replace, and are just an all-around pain to have to store. Plus you have to get up and change discs.

What format are the episodes in?

Every episode is in .mp4 format and labeled (to work seamlessly with Plex).

Are you using USB drives instead of DVDs because they're cheaper?

No. In fact, USB drives cost more. I can buy 100 blank DVD-Rs for $25 on Amazon. Most DVDs, depending on different factors (quality, episode source), can fit between 4 to as many as 20 episodes or more onto a DVD. The more episodes crammed onto a DVD, the lesser the quality of each episode--they're fitting more episodes onto a blank DVD because each episode's quality is lessened so it will take up less space on the blank DVD.

DVDs are simply an inferior medium for bringing TV series to the public.

What is the quality of the media?

Each listing explains in more specific detail where the media is coming from, but before listing a TV series, the question I ask myself is, “Would you watch this?” If the quality is bad enough to distract from enjoying the TV show, I won’t sell it.

Also, each page’s credits photos are screengrabs taken directly from the episodes you’re purchasing.

Can I watch these episodes on my phone or tablet?

Absolutely. Just plug the USB drive into your computer and transfer the files onto your smartphone or tablet for viewing on the go!

How long will it take for my purchase to arrive?

In 95% of cases I ship all orders the next day or same day if it is placed before noon. Tracking is provided.

Can I buy individual seasons?

Absolutely. The price per season is based on the number of episodes in that season as a percentage of the overall number of episodes in that series.

What form of payment do you accept?

I only accept Paypal.

Can I get a sample?

Absolutely. Send me a message naming which specific episode you’d like me to upload for you, and you can watch if for yourself.

How do I play these USB drives on my television?

All modern TVs (flat-panel) have USB input slots located on the back. They are similar in size to the HDMI inputs, except USB inputs are perfect rectangles. You just plug this drive into that slot and the series main screen pops up allowing you to choose your season and episode.

Additionally, if you have a DVD playe, Blu-ray player, or gaming console hooked up to your TV already, these devices also have USB inputs with which you can insert your USB flash drive to view your purchased series.

What if I don't see the series I want in your shop?

I have a vast archive of vintage media available to me, so if you don't see something you're after, message me and I'll see what I can find for you!

Do you accept returns?

I gladly accept returns, exchanges, and cancellations

  • Contact me within: 7 days of delivery.

  • Ship items back within: 30 days of delivery with tracking number.

  • Request a cancellation within: 24 hours of purchase.
